DATE-SWEETENED HOMEMADE APPLESAUCE



Date-Sweetened Homemade Applesauce image

This homemade applesauce boasts an unusual ingredient in place of traditional sugar - pureed dates! Dates give it a warm, almost caramelly sweetness that I'm completely in love with. You can use any apple, but I recommend honeycrisps. They make a delicious applesauce.

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 pounds apples (peeled, cored, and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 15 medium apples) (I use mostly honeycrisps))
1 1/2 cups water
4 3-inch cinnamon sticks
Peels from one lemon (cut with a vegetable peeler and as much pith removed as possible (about 5 strips))
10 medjool dates (pitted)
Another 1/2 - 3/4 cups water

Steps:

  • Add peeled, cored, and chopped apples to a large pot (I use a 7-1/4 quart Dutch oven) along with the cinnamon sticks and lemon peel. Add 1 1/2 cups water.
  • Place on the stove over medium-high heat, bring to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook until the apples are tender, about 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, place the pitted dates and 1/2 cup water in the pitcher of a high-speed blender. Puree until completely smooth, adding additional water if needed to keep things going.
  • If, after the 20 minutes, the apples are tender enough to mash with a potato masher, go ahead and mash them as much as possible. Otherwise, cover them back up and give them a bit more time to cook.
  • Once the apples are mashed and stirrable, add the pureed dates. Stir until combined. Taste and add more sweetener if desired (see notes). Continue simmering until applesauce is the thickness you'd like. I cook it for just a few more minutes and it's usually perfect.
  • Remove the lemon peel and cinnamon sticks and discard.
  • If you want completely smooth applesauce, let it cool and then puree in batches in the blender.
  • Store in airtight jars in the refrigerator. With a batch this big, I usually like to freeze some in jars or freezer bags to enjoy later on.

  • To a large pot or Dutch oven, add chopped apples (peeling optional), pitted dates, cinnamon, ginger, water, and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar. Stir.
  • Cover and cook over medium heat for about 20-30 minutes, or until the apples and dates become so tender that they’re easy to mash. Once the mixture reaches this point, turn off the heat so you can mash or blend.
  • If you peeled your apples, you should be able to use the back of a wooden spoon or a potato masher to mash into a loose sauce. If your apples were unpeeled, you’ll need to use an immersion blender, food processor, or high-speed blender to pulverize the skins and turn the mixture into applesauce.
  • Once you have applesauce, it’s time to turn it into apple butter by cooking in the same pot over medium-low heat for ~1 hour 30 minutes to 2 hours, stirring every 8-10 minutes, until it thickens and caramelizes. NOTE: At the beginning of simmering, you’ll need to cover your pot partially with a tilted lid to avoid splattering while still allowing moisture to escape. As the liquid evaporates, you can uncover to allow steam to fully escape, which helps the mixture caramelize and thicken.
